Circlet Press

 

 

Circlet Press is an independent publisher dedicated to “celebrating the erotic imagination.” In specific, we are known for existing in the niche we call “erotic science fiction.” (Which means, of course, that we do fantasy, too, but lack a decent catch-all term for our genre.) If you’re just discovering us, we’ve been around since March 1992, when our first book, “Telepaths Don’t Need Safewords” by Cecilia Tan, was published, debuting at the Lunacon science fiction convention. “Mate” by Lauren P. Burka came shortly thereafter, in April.

What has followed since then is a long string of books, mostly anthologies but also some stand-alone books, featuring the work of such noted authors as Francesca Lia Block (Weetzie Bat, Dangerous Angels), Lawrence Schimel (Two Boys In Love), Catherine Asaro (The Last Hawk), Nancy Kilpatrick (writing as Amarantha Knight), Delia Sherman (The Porcelain Dove, Fall of the Kings), Carol Queen (The Leatherdaddy and the Femme), as well as giving many, many writers their start in either erotica, sf/f, or both. Among the writers who are fairly well known now who sold either their first or one of their very early works to us: Mary Anne Mohanraj, Gary Bowen, M. Christian, Thomas S. Roche, Raven Kaldera, and others.

As of January 2008, Circlet has 27 books in print, with nearly an equal number no longer in print. This intrepid small press has survived the bankruptcies of its distributor twice, has weathered the “boom” and crash of the gay book business, and continues to rely on the whims of the two hegemonic behemoths in the book biz (Borders and Barnes & Noble) to survive. (Don’t we all.)

Circlet titles have been nominated for many awards, including the Independent Press Awards, Ben Franklin/PMA Awards, the Lambda Literary Award, Spectrum Award for gay/lesbian science fiction, Firecracker Alternative Book Award, and others.

ELEMENTARY EROTICA — Edited by J. Blackmore

In these seven stories, our authors explore the allure and bristling sexuality of the world's greatest detective through the fantastical lens of steampunk. As editor J. Blackmore notes in her introduction, "Holmes’s apparent distaste for women and seeming lack of interest in sex make him an unlikely hero for an erotic story. Victorian England was filled with tension and danger for homosexual men... it was illegal to be gay, plain and simple. We’d do well to remember that Holmes was not always a devotee of the law."

UP FOR GRABS 2: None of the Above — Edited by Lauren P. Burka

Erotic Fantastic: The Best of Circlet Press

EROTIC FANTASTIC: THE BEST OF CIRCLET PRESS 1992-2002 edited by Cecilia Tan

Ten years on the cutting edge of the erotic sf/f genre means it's time for a mega-retrospective anthology. Twenty five of the best selections of Circlet's past decade are collected together into one big fat paperback. Circlet's decade-long dedication to mapping out the limits of the genre of "erotic science fiction and fantasy" has uncovered many gems during the search, some from well-known authors, some from unknown and some from unknowns who have blossomed with the press into the vanguard of the cutting edge erotica writers in the United States

Sextopia

SEXTOPIA edited by Cecilia Tan

"Books are such a civilized medium, don't you think? But the next thing you know, your imagination goes wild..." So says editor Cecilia Tan in her introduction to Sextopia, where she has collected eleven sharp, sexy stories on the intersection of the sexual and the societal. In a utopia, a perfect world, what kind of sex would we have? how often? with whom? and why? Veteran world-builders like Catherine Asaro and Suzy McKee Charnas join cutting-edge erotica writers like M. Christian and Renee M. Charles in crafting hot, insightful tales that are as erotic as they are thought-provoking.

Selling Venus

SELLING VENUS edited by Cecilia Tan

"I like the idea of doing an anthology of erotic fiction on the subject of the sex industry. Technically, this book itself is a part of that industry the exchange of money for sexual stimulation or gratification, in this case in the form of smut/erotica/porn...Whatever you wish to call it, this is, without a doubt, a book intended to stimulate."
From the Introduction by Cecilia Tan

Wired Hard 2

WIRED HARD 2 edited by Cecilia Tan

Wired Hard 2 continues the tradition of presenting hard-hitting erotic science fiction with a distinctly gay male sensibility. Sometimes dark, always intense, these stories range from a futuristic "Kiss of the Spider Woman" scenario to the gentle "first time" story of an alien youth. These are stories that are guaranteed to be both arousing and thought-provoking, creating a uniquely queer form of literature.

Stars Inside Her

STARS INSIDE HER edited by Cecilia Tan


In this anthology of erotica by queer women, the authors explore the true meaning of the word "fantasy." For in Stars Inside Her, any dream or wish can live at the heart of the eroticism. In these stories, women seek their pleasure through magic, from goddesses, in enchanted forests, and with fairy women. Taking desire out of our modern-day political context, and letting imagination run free, these writers create fantasies like no other.

Wired Hard 3

WIRED HARD 3 edited by Cecilia Tan

You wanted it, you got it scorchingly hot tales of men on men, but these are not your ordinary stories. With a dab of fantasy here, a touch of futurism there, Wired Hard 3 brings you everything from high tech interplanetary street hustlers to a gay Cupid.

SexMagick

SEXMAGICK edited by Cecilia Tan

Here are stories of female power and erotic transformation, of sexual ritual, coming of age, breaking of curses, and freeing of creative energy. Drawing on Mayan myth, the Tarot, and magical worlds of their own design, these women celebrate sex and eroticism through their joyous fiction.

SexMagick 2

SEXMAGICK 2 edited by Cecilia Tan

These are erotic fantasies of the most powerful kind, stories in which the power of sexual love transforms and renews. Bringing rain to a parched earth, healing an injured soul, birthing a new sun for a dying planet, driving out evil spirits in the erotic visions of these talented authors, all these things are possible and much more.

Sex Noir

SEX NOIR by Jamie Joy Gatto

Stories of Sex, Death, and Loss
A sensuous work on how passion and lust connect with longing and loss, Sex Noir is the debut collection by New Orleans writer Jamie Joy Gatto. Using the Crescent City as a focal point, Gatto spins stories of transformative sex, casual encounters, desires both requited and unrequited, and the universal need to fill the emptiness inside.

Mind & Body

MIND AND BODY edited by Cecilia Tan

A sensual touch, a secret desire, the look in your lover's eyes...so much of what is erotic is unspoken, expressed without words. Based on the idea that the brain is the body's largest sexual organ, in Mind and Body, eleven writers explore the erotic territory of the telepathic, psychic, and extra-sensory. A lonely shopkeeper checks the "psychic personals" and finds a startling empathy with an upstate shut in. Mysterious dreams lead a woman to her soul mate. In each story, lust goes beyond skin deep and erotic connection goes beyond words.

Sexcrime

SEXCRIME edited by Cecilia Tan

Taking its title from 1984, George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece, Sexcrime exposes the desires and erotic intensity that can blossom under repressive conditions. Twelve stories explore alternate worlds and futures where underground love and subversive sex flourish through the intimacy of secrets, the thrill of transgression, and the bittersweet taste of forbidden pleasure.
